Don't Do It!
Cursor... Cursor..
After watching the faces at the Oscars last night, I pondered this question. Did you ever wonder why your dreams come true for someone else?
Watching them walk away with everything you've worked towards can suck the life and creavity out of you, make you lose vision of who you are, and change the course of your life. But what if you both shared the same dream? Do you compare yourself to that person and wonder why them and not you? Do you resent them for their success?
Don't d...

Friday's Friend Maeve Grayson
Guess what?
The exciting events of recent weeks have resulted in my adopting my six-year-old granddaughter's favorite way of beginning all her sentences. Yep. Her enthusiasm effervesces like a bubbling soda as she chatters. "Guess what?"
So…Guess what?
My debut novel from The Wild Rose Press is finally released! Whoo hoo!! BEYOND A HIGHLAND WHISPER became available on February 18th. A beguiling Scot from the 1400's, Latharn Mackay is cursed into a crystal orb when a seductive witch rages ag...

Cabin Fever 101
Cursor… Cursor…
Valentine's Day is less than a week away and it seems everyone is talking about it. Well, I'm not going to.
Let's talk Cabin Fever 101 instead.
Those of you who know me, know I love winter. I love everything about it, except for the short daylight hours and ice on highways. I can handle snow without problems. But this year, I'm anxious for spring to pop. I guess maybe I'm getting a touch of cabin fever.
I've come up with a few things that make me feel better.

Welcome Darynda Jones
Friday February 4, 2011
I'm so excited to have one of my Ruby Slippered Sisters, Darynda Jones, as a guest today. Darynda's debut novel, The First Grave On The Right, released this week from St. Martin's Press. I've read an arc of FG and throughly enjoyed the story, characters and Darynda's voice. I know you will too. She is a hoot!
So let's talk to Darynda.

Deleting The Blinking Cursor

Did you ever want to change the furniture or the décor of a room in your home and feel lost? Writers feel like this sometime while working on a story. We'll be chugging along, working on our new story, the story that had burnt our every thought until we sat down and started to write it, and BAM, we lose our way. It's like we walk into that room and just know we need to change something, but what?
Can we go out and hire someone to write the book for us. No. But, we can grab another w...

Why Are you Waiting?
Cursor… Cursor…
Why are you waiting?
Life can change in the passing of a second.
If there is something you truly long to do, why are you waiting? For a better time?
Here is an old adage. There is no time like the present. It's so true.
Here's another. Time waits for no man. Also true.
Are you waiting because of financial reasons?
Understandable, but do you have a plan and are you taking steps to do the thing that your heart longs to do?
If yes, great. If not, why not?
Could it be because wan...
